security reforms in a bid to quell violent protests that have been taking place there since wednesday the protests escalated to looting in the capital my earlier a more than twenty people have now been killed in clashes between demonstrators and police including a journalist who was filming a facebook live stream at the time let's get to john holdren who joins me now from mexico city hi there john so why has the president come out with this and i'm smitten. exactly that was quite a surprise especially since president will take a looser came out yesterday after four days of protest for the first time and struck quite a belligerent tone basically saying that criminal city infiltrated the protest movement that it was up to the police to do their jobs today it was slightly different and he said that he was willing to take back this reform to the social security system that detonated the protests to try and bring about dialogue he said

it could have also brought into play the fact that the united states the european union even the pope the united nations have all expressed concern of what's happening here and especially to the reaction of the storage fees and the police and some of the tactics of perceived as heavy handed to being used against the protesters we're talking about around twenty people dead here. a start that's coming from human rights groups in the country i should say also that police are within that number so there's a sense the president will take a maya thought after five days of protests that this was getting out of control and he needed to do something and doesn't like this they traction at will be enough to stop the protests. that's what we're going to have to see if this goes ahead it's quite a hard one to call because there's not a lot of recognized leaders and spokesman within this protest movement the students who seem to be driving it have tried to keep it away from political parties but

it's become about more than just social security which is what president take is tried to take out the game to quell this now it's become only so about his very legitimacy this is a president seen by many nicaraguans as having undermined democratic institutions to hold on to power not just for himself but also for his family and many nicaraguans are saying that now it's about it's about democracy it's about the rule of president all take it in the country and of course we've seen tests now we've seen you mentioned a journalist who was shot dead while he was filming on facebook live things like that are only going to deepen the wounds i should mention as well the protests like this one in nicaragua are unusual of this scale and of this intensity so now once they've started it's going to be interesting to see whether they can be stopped john home in their lives at the latest from icicle city john thanks.

afghanistan has suffered its most serious attack yet on preparations for parliamentary and district elections shed just for a job or fifty seven people were killed in kabul when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to a voter registration center and north of the city and backlund province an explosive placed near another voting center killed six people from the same family bringing the total number of deaths on sunday to sixty three. well on friday gunmen hit a voter registration center in bad his father and scaling a police officer a day earlier armed men killed two police officers in jalalabad city as they guarded a voter registration center and choose the attackers kidnapped three employees to policeman voting center in gore province arianna hall and reports on the latest attacks. police say a suicide bomber detonated explosives at the doorway of

a voter registration seemed in kabul where afghans received identification cards for elections and not toba longer use them when i arrived at the scene we helped many wounded people to carry them to the hospital all the victims were women and children who were here to get their identity cards and registration for election. the blast happened in whist in kabul when many of the minorities shia has a community live it's the latest in a series of attacks on voter registration seemed is they opened just last week part of the long process to get afghans properly registered allegations of fraud have long plagued elections in afghanistan the richest ration process is designed to guard against that the independent election commission says it hopes as many as fifteen million people will register for the parliamentary and district council elections but the election commissioner admits turnout so far is already low

a senior member of the afghan army had told afghans they would be safe that afghan forces would be there to maintain security at voter registration seem to is this latest blast will do little to reassure afghans it's worth the risk million hond zero all of delicious food has more now from kabul. now the death toll could rise because there are a number of people who are critically wounded number of women and children were among these casualties there were couple of other attacks in the past week on these waters just ration centers throughout afghanistan you have heard attacks in northern afghanistan in western afghanistan. also the election commission. members are concerned about the turnout in october the election they were expecting more people to come and turnout for the water to just ration they're not satisfied

with the numbers that they're receiving the concern is the security of the afghan government is. telling the afghans that they will be able to secure these polling stations and they have promised to secure these polling station now we spoke to one official in southern afghanistan and home on province where he says just just in helmand province five of the districts are not. going to witness any elections because the taliban have full control of those districts well java to ask mud is a nonresident fellow with the atlantic council sized asian sense he explains why voter registration census have become a target that i'm clips in afghanistan. just a question of. the afghan people are elections and democratic war in which like islam extending the taliban and their patron mostly because these elections for the

area need. insurgency from the a grassroots level and there are also a lot there of them a little bit of magenta mysie that they claim to have among the afghan people and this is because there are the realities of the new afghanistan one completely opposite and contrary to the ideals perverse vision of isis the taliban in afghanistan. a prime essentially is to control them to intimidation and subjugation fear controversial french immigration laws passed its first legislative hurdle in the national assembly two hundred twenty eight politicians both if the bill which would impose tough the conditions on asylum requests for more let's go to david chase in paris so david why is it taken so long that. julie it has been extraordinary you've just had a marathon in london we've just had a weeklong marathon in the national assembly there are nine hundred ninety nine

amendments to the immigration and asylum act that's passed quite easily but it caused a revolt a rebellion inside mark ronson party one m.p. defected others abstained many were saying this is repressive legislation quite the opposite of the liberal values they thought emanuel macro represented the what it means is essentially that they're going to increase the amount of time that asylum seekers can be kept in detention and very much shorten the amount of time they can appeal against the decision to have them deported now this is not exactly what you think michael will be doing but the case is that last year twenty seven thousand there were one hundred thousand asylum seekers applying for asylum in france now that is a record for france and a record for that year within the european union that shows that he had to act but it was vital for him to push this through because he wanted to undermine the

arguments on the right wing but it also course was never seen as enough by by marine le pen on the right wing or the left wings on the ellen show who describing it as entirely liberal and tali against the values that france is suppose are polled and david in reality and in practice what does it actually mean. well what it means is they've got to in some way speed up this whole process have a calm present comprehensive immigration asylum asylum policy what on his ministers want to do is concentrate very much on giving real asylum to real immigrants who are seeking to escape from the suffering the dangers with their family from the countries they came from he accepts the france has a duty to those people but he does he doesn't accept that there should be any

economic migrants and the whole process has taken far too long far too long as far as michael and his party is concerned he wants to speed the whole process up so you want to separate the two economic migrants and those who have genuine asylum cames claims and those who do have genuine asylum claims he is going to make sure that they are accepted and integrated in society and those who are economic migrants are returned to their homeland to v.t. to their lives that with the latest from paris david thanks. france's president has urged donald trump to stand by the iran nuclear deal on a visit to the u.s. a man well mccall said abandoning the agreement could lead to a north korea style standoff the us president has threatened to walk away from the twenty fifteen agreement ahead of talks with other west in the desk next month what do you have a better option i don't see it. what is the what if scenario or your plan b.

i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve this framework because it's better than a sort of north korean type of situation seven i'm not satisfied with the situation with iran i want to fight against the listing. i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to see don't leave now as a g.c. purely as long as you have not a bit of option for nuclear and let's complete it with ballastic myside and original containment alan fisher has more now from washington. well donald trump and president mccrone do have a special kind of chemistry he gets on better with him than perhaps any other european leader but that me not be enough to stop america walking away from the iran deal donald trump has been against the deal for a very long time those critics will say it's reflexive because it's iran and also that he's never actually read the iran deal but he opposed it when he was candidate

trump a soon as he walked into the white house he said that he would like to see it scrapped he has renewed it as he has to do under american law but the last time he did that he said he wasn't going to do another time and he put pressure on his european allies to come up with some sort of solution that would address his main concerns which are iran's ballistic missile testing and also its growing influence in the middle east but they're really and have not been just clearing the field to let others talk they have been giving interviews to american t.v. as well in the last few hours the iranian foreign minister appeared on one of the main t.v. networks and he made the point that america has got an obligation to follow through on this deal that others have signed it and if they break the deal then they would consider the deal absolutely broke it and he suggested that if that was the case then iran could could renew its nuclear program at a much faster pace than we've seen in the past we have put

a number of options for ourselves and those options are ready including options that would involve. resuming at a much greater speed or nuclear activities. and those are all. envisage within the dea and those options ready to be implemented and we would make the necessary decision. when we see fit you have to remember that donald trump also has john bolton has his new security adviser someone who sits. did there should be regime change in iran and also he would like to see mike pompeo confirmed as his new us secretary of state his current cia director who spoke in a quite forcibly on the iran deal in the past but it won't just be negative voices that donald trump will be hearing in the coming days. the german chancellor will

also be in tone and undoubtedly she'll be saying to donald trump that this is a deal that the u.s. should not be walking away from still to come on the program pakistan's past and community rally in the war against what they are calling decades of oppression. and next level having making we need the chicago beekeeper purchasing coming where you get this expect. hello i'm going to show you a video would look like if you're standing in south western australia over the last what twenty four hours or so this is just continuous of this time lapse to new layer of cloud that looks like the bottom of thunderstorm and there's lightning in the background well that certainly is what was happening in western australia as an incoming frontal system has been one to get there for a couple days in fact they are it is going to have a person it's completely changed the weather type but it took its while doing it

ahead of it it's still hot i mean it's been thirty degrees or thereabouts in adelaide for four or five days we're back down to twenty in person that's the change coming towards adelaide is a cold front there not sit there if you stood on these that cloud that's what you'd say is going to adelaide late on monday to give you a cool day on tuesday but the whole thing is dying to some degree to be more clouds and thunderstorms by this time but it will effect a change in the way the type in new zealand nothing like as dramatic as like to be onshore cloud i think given the breeze direction roughly a west southwesterly that means temps are going to be on the order of middle teens doesn't matter where you are really if you're facing west you don't see the sun if you're facing east you might for a time recently fine day or two in new zealand slightly warmer on tuesday rather more cloudy i think as well.

notorious racist murder in the united kingdom was revealed some uncomfortable truths about london's police stephen lawrence an eighteen year old black man was stabbed to death in an unprovoked assault by five white youths only to later convicted and it was many years later a public inquiry condemned london's police force as institutionally racist and the hayward takes a look at whether anything has changed. stephen lawrence was murdered because he was black stabbed by a group of white thugs in an unprovoked racist attack injustice watershed lodbrok are all used to describe the lawrence case stephen spada told me that he had everything going for him steve was a human being. broken people and he was have you know would have anybody. vote for somebody to actually kill.

such a person to what reason would you have to kill somebody to stephen's murder changed britain's legal and policing landscape for epa the failure to bring his killers to justice was a state of the country's legal system for years within days of stephen's murder the police were given the names of the five suspects but they failed to act and the subsequent botched investigation led the police to be accused of institutional racism that was the judgment of an inquiry ordered by the government tough to stephen's death where the five suspects appeared there was chaos the report found that stevens' race had affected the way the case was handled. it made seventy recommendations saying police attitudes towards racism had to improve and that the brace relations act needed to be strengthened to put it to

discrimination it also ordered targets for the recruitment retention a promotion of black and asian officers the most damning part of the report though was the claim that the police were institutionally racist i think it was fat back then and i think it's fair in the here and now because one of the things that people will look at. are is has week on quest has policing moved on and even though there has been some progress it's been slow. the metropolitan police says it is not the organization it was at the time of stephen lawrence his killing it would take nearly nineteen years for toobin to be found guilty of stevens' murder these people kill him and so on. destroyed their lives stephen lawrence would be forty three level lawrence says he'd be given his son's killers but the justice will be done to all those involved in his son's murder
